Overview:

Capt. Ernest Cisneros grew up fishing the Lower Laguna Madre since childhood. His vast knowledge of the area combined with his B.S. degree in Education and Biology will leave you with a greater knowledge of the diverse habitat of the Laguna Madre. In 2002, he formed the first Fishers of Men Fishing Tournament in the local area, which has gotten bigger and better every year. Capt. Ernest is committed to sharing his passion and knowledge with others, whether it is a trip with the most experienced angler or the first trip for the beginner. He prides himself with a strong sense of conservation and customer satisfaction. His experience has been acquired by spending many hours and days along the Texas coast.
